This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone

       Can meet our need today;

    His might alone empow'ring us

       Can bring us neath Thy sway.

 

Thy Spirit of pow'r with might,

   Send in our midst, we pray,

And come upon each seeking soul;

   Baptize us with power today.

 

 2  Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone

       Can grant us Thy desire;

    His power alone can turn our heart

       And light the sacred fire.

 

Thy Spirit of pow'r with might,

   Send in our midst, we pray,

And come upon each seeking soul;

   Baptize us with power today.

 

 3  Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give

       The gifts we seek to share;

    His pow'r can signs and wonders work

       And stir up holy fear.

 

Thy Spirit of pow'r with might,

   Send in our midst, we pray,

And come upon each seeking soul;

   Baptize us with power today.

 

 4  Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can bring

       The show'r we need this hour;

    And while we seek, Lord Jesus, come

       In motivating power.

 

Thy Spirit of pow'r with might,

   Send in our midst, we pray,

And like a rushing, mighty wind

   Sweep over our souls today.
